Chapter 11: The Other Woman (Part 1)

"Naku, ang sweet ni Sir Xander!" kilig na kilig na sabi ng nurse habang binabantayan si Jenny. "Every night na po ba siya bumibisita?"Nahihiyang tumango ako. One week na since 'yung disastrous family dinner, at talagang gabi-gabi na siyang dumadalaw kay Jenny. Minsan may dala pang pagkain, minsan gadgets para hindi ma-bored ang kapatid ko."Grabe, sana all!" tawa ng nurse. "Mabuti at nakahanap ka ng ganyang klaseng CEO, Ma'am Isa!""Nako, wag ka masyadong maniwala diyan kay Ate Claire!" singit ni Jenny. "Marketing strategy lang 'yan ng future brother-in-law ko!""Jenny!" Pinandilatan ko siya."Joke lang!" Pero kita kong nag-aalala siya. "Oh siya, balik na ko sa modules ko. Dami pang homework!"Pagkaalis ng nurse, hinampas ko ng unan si Jenny. "Ikaw ha, kung ano-ano sinasabi mo!""Bakit? Totoo naman ah!" She looked at me seriously. "Ate... sigurado ka talagang hindi ka...""Hindi ako ano?""Na-fa-fall?"Natigilan ako. "Jenny naman. Alam mo namang may kontrata lang kami.""Oo nga." She

The CEO's Hired Wife/Jemarshua_Avery

"Isabella!" bati ni Madame Regina, suddenly all smiles. "Come meet Chiara Chen! Chiara, this is Alexander's fiancée." "Oh!" Her smile was dazzling. "The... barista, right?" Ouch. Round one pa lang, supalpal na. "Yes!" Proud na sagot ko. "That's how I met Xander eh. Destiny talaga!" "Destiny..." She laughed musically. "Well, that's one way to put it." Double ouch. "Actually," singit ni Victoria. "How's Marco, Chiara? Still together?" Chiara's smile faltered slightly. "We... decided to take a break." "Oh? Kailan pa?" inosenteng tanong ni Miguel. "Before or after malaman mong engaged na si Kuya?" Triple ouch - pero sa kanya naman this time! Hahaha. "Miguel," warning tone ni Madame Regina. "Be nice." "Sorry, Lola!" But he winked at me. "Isabella." Napalingon ako. Si Xander, looking devastatingly handsome in his tux. Without a word, he took my hand and pulled me close. "Hi," I whispered. "Xander!" bati ni Chiara. "It's been so long!" "Chiara." His tone was co

Chapter 13: Playong House (Part 1)

The CEO's Hired Wife/Jemarshua_Avery

"Welcome to your new home!"Nakatayo ako sa lobby ng pinakamataas na floor ng BGC's most exclusive residential tower, hawak-hawak ang isang maleta at backpack lang. Lahat ng gamit ko for one year, kasya sa dalawang bag. "Ma'am, good evening po!" bati ng guard. "Sir Xander informed us about you po. Welcome to The Penthouse!"The Penthouse. Parang title lang ng teleserye. Except ngayon, ako 'yung bida. Ako 'yung mahirap na babae na mapupunta sa mundo ng mayayaman. Pero unlike sa TV, walang forever dito. May countdown clock."This way po," sabi ng guard. "Sa private elevator po ni Sir."Wow. May private elevator si Xander. Of course, bilyonaryo siya. Pagbukas ng pinto sa taas, muntik na akong mahulog sa kinatatayuan ko."Grabe..." bulong ko.Floor to ceiling windows showing the entire Metro Manila skyline. Italian marble floors. Modern furniture na mukhang galing sa magazine. At sa gitna, isang spiral staircase leading to the second floor."This is your home for the next year."Napalin

The CEO's Hired Wife/Jemarshua_Avery

"I mean..." I backtracked. "Like... yung situation natin...""Right." His voice was strange. "The situation. Our situation."Pagkatapos nanaman nun ay nagkaroon ng awkward silence. Kaya ako na ang unang nagsalita."Um..." I stood up. "Matutulog na ko-""Wait." He grabbed my wrist. "About the reporters...""Okay lang yun! Ano ka ba!" I forced a laugh. "Parte lang 'yon ng job 'di ba?""Still." Napakunot siya ng tuluyan. "I don't like them harassing you.""Sus, sanay na ko!" "You shouldn't have to get used to it.""Xander..." I sat back down. "Parte to ng deal natin, right? Ang press coverage, public appearances... Kaya ginagawa ko lang kung ano ang nasa kasunduan natin""I know, I know. Pero..." He ran a hand through his hair. "The pregnancy rumors..."I laughed. Naalala ko nanaman 'yung tungkol sa issue na iyon. "Ang wild no? As if namang mangyayari 'yun!"Hindi siya ngumiti. Napangiwi na lang tuloy ako."Um..." Kinakabahan na ko. "May problema ba?""My grandmother. Mama called."Ay p

Chapter 15: Behind Closed Doors (Part 1)

The CEO's Hired Wife/Jemarshua_Avery

"Ate naman!" Frustrated na si Jenny. "Ilang araw ka nang nagtatago!" Nakahiga ako sa hospital bed niya, nakataklob ang kumot sa mukha. "Hindi ako nagtatago!" defensive kong sagot. "Busy lang!" "Busy?" She pulled the blanket off. "O bakit ka nga dito natutulog sa hospital?" "Kasi..." Napakamot ako ng ulo. "Miss na kita?" "Ulol!" Binato niya ako ng unan. "Ilang araw ka nang umiiwas kay Kuya X no?" Napabuntong hininga ako. Three days na nga since 'yung kiss. Three days na kong nagtatago. "Mali ba ko?" bulong ko. "Sa pagtatago? Oo naman!" "Pero Jenny..." Napaupo ako. "Nahihiya ako eh!" "Bakit naman?" "Kasi..." Namula ako. "First kiss ko yun eh." "HA?!" Napasigaw si Jenny. "FIRST KISS MO YUN?!" "Shhh!" Tinakpan ko bibig niya. "Dahan dahan!" "Sorry!" She whispered excitedly. "Pero Ate... first kiss mo talaga?" Tumango ako. "Oh my god!" She squealed. "Ang romantic! Sa High Street pa! Tapos trending pa!" "Jenny naman!" Pero namula ako. "Hindi romantic yun!"
